"Sol! Hurry hurry, the squad is almost here!" Jam hollered, cupping a hand to her mouth as she swung of the end of a train. The young, brash, Sol Dellano slid out from the alleyway just in time to see the train pass.

"Idiot...he's going to get left behind if he doesn't learn that squads don't fool around with these kind of matters," Cid said, stepping into the parlour of the car's interior.

Jam shrugged off the old man's comment and shouted for Sol again. Sol began to pick up speed as he chased after the train, which was beginning to pick up speed as well. Yet, as his feet left the ground to snatch ahold of the train, nearly thrirty armed squadron members burst through the alleyway and opened random fire.

Sol let out a sigh of relief as he sat down on the edge of the train, heaving from the long escapades. Yet, as he did, was nearly shocked to death as the entire train yard erupted with explosions. Removing his arms from a guarded position, he stared blankly at the fires that burned brightly throughout the city...

The street was damp, as it usually was, Sol stood and stared blankly at the door of the bar, not knowing exactly wether to go in or just wait it out. Yet, eventually, he stepped up the courage and slowly slid open the door.

Inside was a scene like something out a book, smoke rising from an ash trey and a completely serene envirnment. A woman stood behind the bar and nodded, already pouring a glass of vodka for the the weary Sol.

The woman behind the counter only shook her head and picked up the glass, jumping over the counter. She handed it to Sol, who looked down at it quizzicaly. "You'd better drink it, Hugo can be a really embarassin guy," Jam said, putting a tray behind her back and nodding.

"Anywho, there's a reason we called you here, kid. We got a big job thas goin down and I heard your pretty good to be such a rookie. To tell the truth, I didn't think you where comin, made me wait so damn long, but hey, your here now. C'mon, the meetins' about ta' start, but we can't without you," Hugo bellowed, waving the group to follow him down a secret elevator.

All this was a bit overwhelming to the boy. He'd thought for once he might have a nice, quiet, easy job, but from the looks of his employers, the guns would be blaring in no time. "Let's go, everyones waiting!" Jam chirped, stepping onto the elevator, followed quickly by Sol...
